Abstract excerpt
Germ-line mutations of LKB1 (STK11) lead to Peutz-Jeghers syndrome characterized by gastrointestinal polyps and cancer of different organ systems. The mutations lead to loss or severe impairment of Lkb1 serine/threonine kinase activity. Therefore LKB1 has been implicated as a tumor suppressor gene, but only a few mutations in the coding exons of LKB1 have been detected in sporadic tumors. Here, we have identified...
